💅 SURFACEINERTIA(1) — OpenFOAM Commands Manual

okay bestie, sit down, hydrate, because we're about to calculate some inertia 💖 this one lives in the OpenFOAM Commands Manual (that's The Open Source CFD Toolbox, no cap) and it's genuinely so iconic.

✨ NAME ✨

surfaceInertia — part of OpenFOAM (The Open Source CFD Toolbox). yes that's the whole name section, she's lowkey mysterious like that 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

surfaceInertia [OPTIONS] input

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So the way that this works is: it calculates the inertia tensor plus the principal axes and moments of whatever surface you hand it. main character math fr fr.

And here's the cute part — the inertia can either be of the solid body or of a thin shell. two vibes, one tool. you get to pick ✨

🫶 ARGUMENTS 🫶

  • input — the input surface file. that's it, that's the whole argument, she's simple and she knows it 💅

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • -case dir — specify the case directory to use, instead of the cwd. like, use this folder please, not wherever you happen to be standing 🙈
  • -density scalar — specify density. it's in kg/m3 for solid properties and kg/m2 for shell properties. units matter bestie, don't come for me 💀
  • -referencePoint vector — inertia relative to this point, not the centre of mass. so you're choosing your own little origin moment, periodt.
  • -shellProperties — inertia of a thin shell. the shell girlies stay winning 🦋
  • -doc — display documentation in browser. cute little tab opens, very demure.
  • -help — display short help and exit. in and out, no small talk.
  • -help-full — display full help and exit. the extended cut, director's version 👑

⭐ ADVANCED OPTIONS ⭐

  • -debug-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered debug switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. can be used multiple times 🔥
  • -fileHandler handler — override the file handler type. you're in charge now.
  • -info-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered info switch. default is 1 if the value is omitted. can be used multiple times 🔥
  • -lib name — additional library or library list to load. can be used multiple times. stack 'em up 🧚
  • -noFunctionObjects — do not execute function objects. respectfully, not today.
  • -opt-switch name=val — specify the value of a registered optimisation switch (int/bool). default is 1 if the value is omitted. can be used multiple times 🔥
  • -doc-source — display source code in browser. go read the lore directly, iykyk 📖
  • -help-man — display full help (manpage format) and exit. yes queen, help in the manpage format specifically.
  • -help-notes — display help notes (description) and exit. the tl;dr but make it a flag 💜

ngl, that's the whole page. every flag, every default, every unit, all present and accounted for. no details were harmed in the making of this rewrite 🌸

okay byeeee, this came from the OpenFOAM Commands Manual at www.openfoam.com, version OpenFOAM-, and honestly? she ate. ✨💖🎀
